Abstract in English

Ginoide Hydrolipodystrophy (HDLG), commonly known as cellulite, occurs in 80-90% of the female population after the puberty period, comes from a metabolic modification in cutaneous adipose tissue. Caffeine, in turn, promotes a lipolytic action and is widely used by formulators. This project obtained nanoemulsion containing as main ingredients surfactants (Oleth-3; Oleth-20) and caffeine by emulsification method by (TIF). Emulsions were developed, with F3 being chosen, the most translucent with clearing-boundary Temperature (Tcb) of approximately 80 °C and phase inversion temperature (TIF) of 85 °C. In the Preliminary Stability Test (PET), the nanoemulsion showed no changes in its organoleptic characteristics, except in the thermal stress test in which phase separation occurred above 70 °C. In the Normal Stability Test (TEN) the condition of 45.0 ± 2.0 °C showed instability, in the other temperature values the nanoemulsions were classified as normal. The pH values for the conditions of 25.0 ± 2.0 °C and 5.0 ± 2.0 °C declined over the course of 90 days, 13.7 and 2.0% respectively. These values were evaluated by ANOVA, followed by Tukey's test, suggesting that F3 storage should be refrigerated. The polydispersion indices showed reduced deviation of 0.1. Indicating the presence of droplets with high polydispersity and monodisperse character. The droplet size in the condition of 5.0 ± 2.0 °C had size and percentage of variation lower than the condition 25.0 ± 2.0 ° C. The zeta potential at t0 was -3.9. The percentage of Transmittance at t0 and with t90 days of TEN presented values of 48.7 and 6.5% respectively, indicating a loss of transparency over time. Evaluated constant of Ostwald, in the refrigerator condition was the most favorable for stability. In the Raman spectroscopy assay the caffeine spectrum was compared in solution at various pH values and the band displacement and its protonation were not observed. The caffeine bands found in F3 were compatible with those found in the caffeine solution (1337, 652.5 and 558.2 cm -1). There was no interaction of caffeine anhydrous with Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride oil (TAAC) nor with Oleth-3 and Oleth-20 surfactants. The analytical validation of the method was linear, precise and accurate. There was a reduction of the caffeine concentration over the TEN time, in the condition of 5.0 ± 2.0 °C (15.1%). The caffeine association efficiency in the droplet was 4.8%. In the safety assay of using nanoemulsion in vitro HET CAM - Hen's Egg Test - Chorioallantoic Membrane, the result of 1.4 ranked the nanoemulsion F3 as slightly irritating. In the natural membrane cutaneous permeation test (human skin) permeate concentrations did not exceed the saturation concentration of the (PBS) Phosfate Saline (48.96 µg/3 mL). The caffeine solution permeated more than the nanoemulsion with caffeine F3, but the nanoemulsion visually and sensorially improved the caffeine precipitation.
